How to Make Walnut Praline Squares 1960

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the praline squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to firm up nicely.
  10. Once cool, cut into squares and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
